No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I question this. I grew up in a rural area, moved to the city for a few years, and moved back to one of the "larger" towns in a rural area.
Usually while talking about my childhood with my friends in the city, they would seem surprised by some of it. Yeah, they knew the basics, as I did about the city, but actually living somewhere is a lot different than what media portrays.
I don't doubt your experience but the numbers don't lie on this one. There have been a small number of the urban population (I've not the numbers on how urban they are. If they're in the suburbs or actual cities) that moved to more rural areas since the start of COVID. The number is quickly slowing down and it was small enough to not make a big impact in any one area. If you grew up in a rural area, think about anyone you knew from a city. And then think about the kids who go off to college (colleges aren't real big in rural areas) and who never came back.
Oh, I didn't mean the moving part. I agree with that. It was the city people know everything there is to know about rural life I disagree with.
That wasn't claim I was intending to make, apologies if it came across that way. No, I think it's something you have to experience personally. The only point I was trying to make is that there are more people with that experience in cities than there are with city experience in rural areas.
